Travelling in a desert is a liberating experience. It has its own thrills and challenges. However deserts pose many challenges even for the experienced hikers. Lack of water, shifting landscape and extreme temperatures make it really difficult.

Travelling in Desert

But a little bit of preparation goes a long way in making the trip through a desert enjoyable.

Do not travel alone – Always travel in groups in a desert. Even a camel does not travel alone, in spite of being well equipped to brave the sun.

Check weather – Dust storms can be a grave threat in the deserts. Modern forecasts are however very accurate. Always check with the forecast before travelling.

Proper dressing – Wear cotton dress which is loose to feel comfortable. Tight dress or short dresses are a complete no. The temperature drops appreciably in the night, so carry warm clothes as well.
